Agricultural Education

Not every Australian grows up on a farm, but we believe everyone should have the chance to experience the hands-on learning that comes with caring for animals, nurturing the environment, and growing their own food.

Taking advantage of our Agricultural Education program is a fantastic opportunity to bring your students and family to the Show. Experience agricultural education in workshops, performances and presentations, all with a fun, interactive atmosphere. 

As the Beef Capital and the centre of the region’s rich farming and grazing lands, the Rocky Show plays an important role in helping every attendee understand the importance of our agricultural sector. 

What can you expect from the Agricultural Education program?

At the Agricultural Education program, expect a large, engaged audience interacting with passionate presenters, showcasing their work and promoting their agricultural businesses. 

  • There's opportunities to learn about:
  • Native bees
  • Worm Farming and composting
  • Native plants
  • Organic agriculture
  • Managing pest plants and animals
  • Parasites

And much more! Activities are both educational and entertaining, ensuring that every visitor leaves with a greater understanding and appreciation of agriculture. 

How can you get involved in our 2025 program?

Expressions of interest are now open to present at the 2025 Agricultural Education Stage. Whether you're a farmer, business, educator, or industry professional, this is your chance to share your knowledge and inspire others about your field of expertise or agricultural business.
